HAKDY ANNUALS may be sown in March and April (and for early spriug^ blooiiiiufr in August and September), in a sheltered situation, and when up, thinned so a.s to keep them strong. In March they may be transplanted where they are to bloom. Before sowing, which should be done on a fine diy day, carefully prepare the soil, and in covering, regulate the thickness by the size of the seeds — small seeds should be very lightly covered. Success in growing annuals depends in a great measure upon their being properly th^ed to regular distances, so as to give plenty of room for the full development of each plant ; this, in too many instances, is entirely neglected, hence the dissatisfaction so often expressed as to their use. HALF-HAEDY ANNUALS may be sown in March and April, in pans, placed on a alight hot-bed, and, when strong enough, pricked out into a cool frame near the glass, where they may get hardened and well established for transplanting into their blooming quarters early in May, or potted off singly for conservatory and greenhouse decorations. Under favourable circum- stances many varieties will bloom freely if sown in the open ground about the middle of May. ^^RBEE annuals such as Balsams, Oelosias, Thunbergias, &c., require raising in a temperature ranging from 60° to 70°. Sow in pans or pots, and place near the glass ; keep the soil moist, and shade from the sun until the plants appear. When strong enough, pot off into small pots, keeping them near the glass, and admitting air on every favouraUe occasion. BIENNIALS AND PERENNIALS. — The more select and tender varieties for summer and autumn blooming may be sown in a gentle heat in March and April, and pricked out into pots until fully established, and then potted off singly, or transplanted into the open ground, as required. The hardier varieties may be sown in the open ground, in prepared beds, in Juno and July, and when strong enough transplanted into nursery beds, or where they are intended to bloom the following year. In ordering Flower Seeds it will be sufficient to quote the marginal numbers.

It is of immense benefit applied as a top-dressing to plants and bulbs of all sorts CTOwn in pots, especially when pot-bound, completely restoring e^austed energy, a few applica- tions ensuring vigorous healthy growth, the fiowers being produced in a most luxurious manner, combined with great ricrmess of colouring. It can also be mixed with ordinary soil in potting, or may be used with most beneficial effect for Chrysanthemums, Shrubs, Vines, and all kinds of Fruits, whether in pots or planted in the open air. ANALYSTS’ REPORT. The analysis shows this to be a complete Plant Food, and of the highest quality. The material not only contains an abundance of all the constituents necessary for plant growth, but the analysis shows also that the four chief constituents are each in that combination which renders them in the most beneficial and available form for the healthy development of plants. For these reasons, users of this Plant Food in the proper quantities cannot fail to produce the very best results within the capability of their plants. CANNON & NEWTON, Analytical and Consulting Chemists, 39, Mincing Lane, London, E.C. DIRECTIONS FOR USE. For POT PLANTS AND BULBS. — Sprinkle on the surface of the soil, about every three weeks, at the rate of a small teaspoonful to a 5-inch pot, so that when the plants are watered, the Plant Food will be gradually absorbed into the soil. For CHRYSANTHEMUMS. — At the time of potting, some of the Plant Food should be thoroughly mixed with the compost, and afterwards, when the buds begin to swell, frequent top-dressings should be given, the quantity used being estimated according to the size of the pots and vigour of the plants. For ROSES, SHRUBS, VINES, &c., in Pots. — Use about a tablespoonful to a 12-inch pot several times during the season. For PLANTS, FRUITS, ROSES, and all Plants in Borders and the Open Ground. — Applj’ about 2 oz. to the square yard as often as occasion may require, raking and watering it in. For LAWNS. — Scatter broadcast at the rate of 2 oz. to the square yard, and well water. _ Sold in Tins, containing about li lbs., price Is. each. Larger Size, containing about 5 lbs., 2s. 6d. each.

There are few flowers more showy and beautiful than the GHadiolus, and the varieties of the Gandavensis section are perfectly hardy and easily grown, whilst their erect and stately growth, and long spikes of flowers, developing themselves successively, never fail to win admirers. To facilitate the cultivation of this highly decorative plant, a few remarks may be necessary to some : — The best and safest time for planting is from the beginning of April to the end of May, when a continuous bloom may be assured from July to September. Soil is not much a point for consideration, so long as it is not stiff and consolidated ; but it is important that it should be deeply dug previous to planting. Large bulbs should be planted from 3 to 4 inches, and smaller bulbs 2 Inches deep. During excessively dry weather, copious waterings are recommended. When any bulbs show signs of growth before the time mentioned above, they should be potted and kept in a cool frame until the proper season for planting out. This beautiful tribe of plants should be largely planted everywhere. Orders are booked throughout the year at the following prices, and the bulbs supplied in Janu- ary, February, or March. 12 choice named varieties, 3s., 4s. 6d., 6s. & 9s.
